I get most of them but one I don't get what they derive from answer is:
Do you store your peanut butter in the refrigerator? Any ideas?
Just adding to the winter weird stuff on HSBBW.

Lol.....mine got the same question and answered it honestly. We figured if the answer to that question makes him undraftable to any team then it wasn't meant to be. He's had a couple head scratchers for sure.

Only sociopaths store their PB in the fridge. That’s well known
Ha, this question is too funny, but I think the intent is a passive way of gathering more than a yes/no answer.
1. Potential peanut allergy, level of that allergy if there is one, and how that family deals with the allergy if there is one.
2. How health conscious one is with what he eats. Natural peanut butters have to be stirred and, if refrigerated, are an absolute pain to stir. Shelf stable PB have stabilizers, preservatives, and tend to have more sugar than the natural PB. Someone who probably doesn't think about what sort of PB they eat would answer yes, refrigerated or they'd answer with a quick no and probably ask, "who would do such a thing"? One who is at least quasi particular of what he eats would respond with a, "no, but maybe to prevent spoilage I would".
Good points. On mine’s questionnaire they only gave him a drop down box to answer yes/no with no option to elaborate.
Cold and I scoop it out with a Hershey bar. Either sign me up for slot $ or a diabetes/cholesterol study.
Yes only yes or no. No elaboration so I don't see any relevance so far to answers other than never heard of anyone putting peanut butter in a refrigerator. I reckon when I meet that person it will tell a lot about the reasoning.

My Wegman's Organic Crunchy Peanut Butter says it has to be refrigerated after opening.
So, it looks like the answer to the question will determine if you are eating organic or Jiff? As mentioned above, many other nut butters need to be refrigerated and when the oils separate, it is a bear to stir.
Best thing to do is answer honestly and, if they skip on you, perform so well that they look like idiots for not drafting you just because you answered the peanut butter question wrong. Smdh
Also, @keewart if that's really why they are asking that makes me sick because high level baseball is already prohibitively expensive. Now we have to worry about buying organic, non-GMO, local farmer's market/low carbon footprint, hand blended, vine-ripened, free range peanut butter?! Don't they know how much it costs to keep these boys in regular peanut butter? All joking aside, I am all for eating as healthy as you can but not everyone has that option...
Just be thankful they're online now, in 2016 they were all still paper. Talk about low tech...
keewartson said in 2017 questionnaires were moving to online, but many were still paper. He did NOT have the peanut butter question, but he said to answer all questions honestly. Some of the psychological questions, I remember at the time, he just shook his head about. He never told me which ones
Son had to take a little break. He got like 13 in one week. Some were simple but a few had 70+ questions that were not yes or no.
